Just from working in the HIV sector for the last 19 years, I can say that a significant majority of our folks living with HIV don't want to transmit. In fact, when they find out their HIV diagnosis, they actually go backward. Very few individuals are intentional. I think in a court of law and through evidence gathering, you would be able to find out whether they were intentional or not.
I can tell you, again, through the individuals who come in, they are fearful of it and actually shy away. Relationships have ended as a result of their identifying it or it being found out that they were HIV-positive. They actually make the decision to say, “I'm not having sexual intercourse with you at all” for fear of transmitting the virus. When you are looking at a highly stigmatized issue of HIV and the practices of the majority, I think it would be very easy to prove intention in actual transmission in a court of law in Canada.
